X-Ray Facility

The X-ray Center at The University of Akron is a state of the art facility capable of collecting high qulity X-ray diffraction data on both small molecule and macromolecular crystalline samples. Instrumentation includes a Bruker SMART Apex equipped with a 2 kW sealed tube Mo radiation source and graphite monochromator (installed 2001) and a Bruker ApexII Duo with comounted Mo and Cu microfocus radiation sources (installed June 2010).

Acknowledgments: Users who publish papers including data collected on the Bruker SMART APEX I system should include the following statement: We would like to acknowledge the National ScienceFoundation (CHE-0116041) and the Ohio Board of Regents for funds used to purchase the Bruker-Nonius Apex CCD X-ray diffractometer used in this research.
Users who publish papers including data collected on the Bruker APEX II Duo system should include the following statement: We would like to acknowledge the National ScienceFoundation (CHE-0840446) for funds used to purchase the Bruker APEX II Duo X-ray diffractometer used in this research.

Policy: There will be a policy of co-authorship in all publications that present collected and solved structures. In such cases the name of the responsible crystallographer will be included.
